As a SiriusXM Radio host, I field a whole bunch of calls filled with
Patriots hate. I need oven mitts to handle these venomous hot takes. These folks are like the fools who think UConn is bad for women's hoops, who believe Coach K's Dukie domination is indecent, who live to hate the Yankees, who think the Spurs are boring.
Let's be honest: If you loathe the
Patriots, you're fueled by jealousy. New England is better than your team. You know it. It gnaws at you.
I find it awesome.
In a league brilliantly set up for competitive balance, the Pats are 30 steps ahead.
Don't minimize their absurd run in recent years. Eight straight division titles and six straight conference title games? Are you kidding me?! That's unprecedented stuff -- the kind of dominance that evokes envy.
There's no mystery to New England's reign: Bill Belichick and
Tom Brady are the best ever. Belichick's the best coach in NFL history. Brady's the best quarterback the game's ever seen. That's a winning combo, eh? Belichick and Brady are now making their seventh
Super Bowl appearance together -- easily the most for any coach-QB tandem -- and are currently tied with Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw for the most wins ever in the big game.
Of course, you will get the clowns in the media and the biased fans who erroneously claim that all of New England's success stems from "Spygate" and "Deflategate." You can deflate that notion right now. It's garbage.
